The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is just around the corner, and for many students, this period can feel overwhelming.

With a focused and smart revision strategy, it is still very much possible to maximize your score and boost your chances of admission into your dream university.

At Career Launcher, Malviya Nagar, we understand the pressure students face at this stage. That is why we have compiled a comprehensive guide to help you make the most out of your last-minute preparation and walk into the exam hall with confidence.

Why Last-Minute Preparation Matters

The final stretch of preparation is where performance can significantly improve. It is time to:

• Strengthen key topics

• Build exam-taking confidence

• Improve speed and accuracy

• Identify and avoid frequent mistakes

Even if you are not fully confident in covering the entire syllabus, the right approach can still lead to an impressive CUET score.

Last-Minute Preparation Checklist

Let us break down the most effective last-minute strategies to help you score high in CUET:

1. Focus on High-Weightage Topics

At this stage, it is essential to prioritize wisely. Do not try to revise everything. Instead, focus on topics that have consistently appeared in previous years' papers and carry more weight.

Language Section

• Practice reading comprehension daily

• Revise grammar rules: subject-verb agreement, articles, and  prepositions

• Brush up on vocabulary: synonyms, antonyms, idioms

Domain-Specific Subjects

• Go through the NCERT summaries

• Revise key formulas, definitions, and diagrams

• Solve past year multiple-choice questions

General Test

• Revise arithmetic topics like averages, percentages, and ratios

• Practice logical reasoning, number series, and puzzles

• Read the current affairs of the last six months

Tip: Attempt questions from topics where you are already strong. Accuracy is more important than covering new chapters at this point.

2. Do Not Start Anything New

The biggest mistake students make during the last phase is trying to learn something completely new. Doing so will only add to your confusion and anxiety. Use your energy to revise familiar concepts.

• Revisit notes, summaries, and mind maps

• Review solved examples and questions you found tricky earlier

• Focus on retention, not expansion

Short and crisp revisions will help your mind stay sharp.

3. Practice Mock Tests Regularly

Mock tests play a critical role in preparing you mentally for the exam.

Benefits of mock tests:

• Helps in time management

• Identifies strengths and weaknesses

• Reduces exam anxiety by simulating real conditions

Plan:

• Attempt one full-length mock test each day in the final week

• Analyze your performance after each test

• Note down silly mistakes and weak areas for revision

Make sure to practice under timed conditions to improve real-time performance.

4. Speed and Accuracy are Key in the General Test

The General Test section can be a high-scoring area if tackled smartly.

Here is how you can maximize your score:

• Practice shortcut techniques in arithmetic

• Use elimination methods in reasoning and general knowledge questions

• Solve a minimum of 30 questions every day from this section

Also, review:

• Static GK topics such as countries and capitals, important days, and awards

• One-liner current affairs from government schemes, national events, and recent news

These quick revisions can give you an edge.

5. Revise NCERTs for Domain Subjects

NCERT books remain the most trusted resource for CUET, especially for domain-specific subjects.

For example:

• History: focus on timelines, movements, and key personalities

• Economics: understand graphs, definitions, and case studies

• Business Studies: revise concepts and terminologies

• Accountancy: focus on journal entries, trial balances, and cash flow statements

Avoid using new reference books at this stage. Stick to your class notes and NCERTs.

6. Take Care of Your Health and Sleep

Your body and mind need to be in the best possible condition for you to perform well. During the last few days:

• Get 6 to 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep

• Avoid excessive caffeine or junk food

• Stay hydrated and take short breaks between study sessions

• Include light exercise or short walks in your routine

Mental clarity is just as important as academic preparation.

7. Build a Strategy for Exam Day

How you approach the CUET on the actual day can make a significant difference.

• Start with the easiest section to build confidence

• Do not spend too much time on a single question

• Use elimination to guess smartly if needed

• Leave a buffer of 5 to 10 minutes for review

Most importantly, keep calm. Stress can affect your decision-making during the exam, so approach it with a clear head and composed attitude.
